Can Cowboys finally win one going away?

Can the Dallas Cowboys finally play a game that doesn’t go down to the wire?

As far as Week 7 story lines in the NFL go, that question doesn’t quite rank up there with Tim Tebow’s debut as a starter or whether previously undefeated Detroit can rebound at home against Atlanta. But for Cowboys fans weary of enduring nail biter after nail biter, it’s a hot topic.

Dallas (2-3) is favored by 12 against St. Louis (0-5). It’s quite a spread for a team that has played 11 consecutive games decided by 5 points or less.

“The way we’ve been playing, we know we’ve been smashing a lot of flat screens, or our fans have been,” linebacker Bradie James said. “We’ve been taking care of Best Buy and Fry’s and all that.”

The Cowboys have lost two straight, so they should play with a sense of urgency.

“Man, we’re just trying to win,” James said. “That’s the thing about this game. You don’t know what the outcome will be, how it will go to the end. Every game we’ve played has gone to the end. All I care about and all we should care about is just a ‘W.’ ”
